Let the Record Show: A Political History of ACT Up New York, 1987-1993 by Sarah Schulman

emotional informative inspiring reflective medium-paced

5.0

I’ve been a big fan of Schulman’s fiction for years, but this was my first nonfiction work of hers I’ve read. Don’t let the volume of this book deter you-the pace is steady and riveting. More so, it’s a primer on how to build a grassroots movement from those who were on the front lines of the AIDS crisis while simultaneously being an extensive record of that time from inside the movement.  It’s a classic of the canon.
